Deadlocked Croatia holds uncertain snap election

Croatia’s rival political blocs were running neck and neck after a snap election Sunday, exit polls showed, suggesting further political uncertainty. A centre-left coalition led by the Social Democrats (SDP) of former prime minister Zoran Milanovic was forecast to win 57 or 58 seats compared with 57 seats for the conservative HDZ party, according to exit polls. The previous barely-functioning coalition government, led by the HDZ, took power after the November vote.
